The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 303

Chapter 303

1 – Ben

She’s gone. Just like that, Kennedy was taken—snatched away by some arrogant Alpha who couldn’t care less about her feelings. He openly admitted he didn’t want a mate, yet here he is, dragging her off without a second thought. I know Kennedy wanted out of the pack, wanted to carve her own path, to live life on her own terms and only return when she was ready. That was the plan. We all believed she’d come back. But instead, I had to watch helplessly as she climbed into someone else’s SUV and disappeared from sight.

I can sense Jeremiah’s gaze burning into the side of my face, but I’m not ready to face him yet. I don’t want anyone offering pity or empty words of comfort. Kennedy isn’t my mate, I remind myself, but that didn’t stop me from hoping she might be someday. She’s the only woman in this entire pack who ever truly caught my attention. We never dated, thanks to Jer’s strict hands-off rule. Of course, Tommy, Jason, and I found ways to bend that rule here and there. If Jer suspects anything, he’s never mentioned it.

It hits me that I’ve been walking aimlessly until I reach the gym doors. This place holds memories—especially after Kennedy was taken. The four of us went into overdrive searching for her, and there was no way we’d let her wander around without some basic self-defense skills. The gym became our sanctuary, our regular hangout spot after that.

“I figured you’d end up here,” Jeremiah says, his voice breaking the silence.

“I’m not in the mood, man,” I reply curtly.

“Yeah, well, we’ve got a job to do, and you need to get over your non-mate leaving the pack. We all knew she’d leave eventually. This just happened sooner than anyone expected…”

“No, Jer, this is different,” I say, frustration creeping into my voice. “We talked about her going to college and then coming back. She can’t come home now. And who knows what he’s going to allow her to do.”

“Ryker’s not a bad guy,” Jer responds evenly. “He was as surprised as we were.”
